Only 1 day left to rate games ! I’ve rated about 160 games. I didn’t really like “Minimalism” at first, but seeing how many great concepts people came up with, I guess it was a good theme after all

Here are some highlights, in no particular order.

[placeholder] – mtrc – 48 Hour Compo Entry

It’s a puzzle game for programmers, which is a great idea, as the audience here (us, participants) mostly is. Lines of commented code help you figure out what to do, and you have to deal with nasty bugs. Very cool !

Unst – Milo – 48 Hour Compo Entry

A very challenging puzzle game with a concept I’ve never seen before.

Floating Point – 7Soul – 48 Hour Compo Entry

A very uncommon entry. You have to have two browser windows opened side by side to play. On one side, there’s the detailed world, on the other, there’s the abstract world. It’s a point and click game, and your actions on one world have an effect on the other. The graphics and mood are excellent.

The Road – GeorgeBroussard – 48 Hour Compo Entry

This one nailed the theme in my opinion. The graphics are very minimal. You play a red square, you have to go forward and avoid stuff. The whole thing represents real life. When you die by hitting a black triangle for instance, the game tells what it represents, how you died in real life. Some deaths are very funny.

Street of Rave – TinyDrakkarStudio – Jam Entry

So much fun in this game ! You dance, and you have to run around people in the street to make them dance too. You have to avoid the walls and the cops that will chase you will make your life harder.

Minimal Annihilation – Zener – 48 Hour Compo Entry

A Starcraft in 2D with minimal graphics. I think it’s perfectly done, and the UI is very intuitive.

MONO – timtipgames – 48 Hour Compo Entry

A highly polished and professional looking entry. An amazing work in 48 hours.

CLRS – acatcalledfrank – 48 Hour Compo Entry

Another great looking entry with a very cool concept. Evil color circles are attacking you and you have to defend yourself by drawing lines of the right colors around you. It’s a “draw-em-up”, as the author says

Zip – Chronodrax – 48 Hour Compo Entry

A fun puzzle game with cool graphics and a very nice concept. The little character can absorb the color of the platform he’s on, and then he’ll be able to pass through any block of that color. You have to do things in the right order, or you’ll fall !

Schrodinger – myachin – 48 Hour Compo Entry

A very interesting experience where you play a wave function. You have to change state to go through obstacles, gain speed, and avoid the black hole that chases you. I really like how the graphics twist when you start to lose.

nadir – Zillix – 48 Hour Compo Entry

This game tells a story in such an interesting way. Your character (a pink square) is falling and she’s trying to remember what happened to her by reliving her dialogs with her fellow adventurers. While progressing through the memories, you have to avoid the dark walls around you, and it really adds something to the immersion.

Lunar Rain – LeafThief – 48 Hour Compo Entry

A point and click with fantastic graphics and mood.

L’Hypnose – Wan & Almudys – Jam Entry

A very artsy, oniric experience.

Reich 18 – jerombd – Jam Entry

A Game & Watch like looking game with awesome visuals. Really worth a look !

Dragon Drop – Tom 7 – 48 Hour Compo Entry

A game with a great twist that made me smile

 

LOOP – vandriver – 48 Hour Compo Entry

You play as a crow in this entry with a fantastic mood and very cool graphics.

 

Escape Shaft – Zathalos – 48 Hour Compo Entry

It’s a very cool puzzle action game with a concept that works very well. You have to optimize your shots and be patient to kill all the monsters in the room.
